Mindset

We don’t do anything
extraordinary. Just the
right thing. But we do that
extraordinarily well.

We think and act differently.
From the very beginning.

Whenever things get serious, or when something is meant seriously, our approximately 100 consultants are there for our clients. And they set successful standards for effective transformation, successful restructuring, digital performance, resilience, and growth-based turnarounds. To achieve this, we follow a uniquely different leadership and compensation model.

Consultation, uniquely different

When does consulting become truly good consulting? We are convinced: when it's different. Different in its objective and different in the consulting service provided. That's why we took a bold step and followed the guiding principle "Profit follows value." For us, consulting means prioritizing customer value over our own revenue. We align all our thinking and actions accordingly. Consistently. Differently. Successfully.

We don't make promises.
We deliver.
And we have for over 40 years.

Our goal is to create value – for our clients as well as for our employees. We focus on cultivating strengths and quickly identifying and effectively leveraging value drivers. With a success rate of over 90%, even in complex transformations, we help companies in challenging situations achieve rapid and sustainable success – a measurable return on investment is typically achieved within twelve weeks.

We believe that truly lasting improvements don't come from tweaking individual components, but from a clear view of the big picture: the business model. That's why we guide transformations purposefully toward operational and strategic excellence. As business consultants, we combine methodological expertise with management experience. Therefore, every project is personally overseen by two partners. This allows us to remain leaders as turnaround pioneers, performance managers, and digitalization experts, because we constantly benchmark ourselves against the best and never become complacent.

98% recommendation rate

Our clients trust us because they sense that we understand consulting as an attitude. And that's precisely why almost all of them recommend us.

It's also a question of attitude:
Sustainable commitment

We take a holistic approach to everything we do, not just our projects. For us, taking responsibility means paying attention to ecological and social values ​​in our own actions and conduct.
This is a matter of mindset for us.

That's why Struktur Management Partner has been committed to social projects for over 25 years. In recent years, we have supported initiatives in the areas of emergency medical care, hunger and disaster relief, and especially aid for needy and seriously ill children, with nearly half a million euros. Regarding sustainability, we commissioned a carbon footprint analysis for our company. Based on this analysis, we offset our CO2 emissions and have been completely climate-neutral since 2019.

"Our partners and employees are solely committed to the client's success – including financially. We don't reward individual targets (there simply aren't any), but rather the added value for the client. This means our activities are value-driven rather than revenue-driven."

(Dietmar Buchfink)

"We were and are the pioneer of turnaround management in Germany. While it was our PMS methodology that revolutionized the market in the early 1980s, today it is our value-enhancing business model approach and our SMP7 implementation methodology that make the difference."

(Marc-René Faerber)

“We enjoy the highest level of trust among stakeholders, especially family businesses, which dominate the German Mittelstand.”

(Konrad Fröhlich)

“We don’t build castles in the air for our clients, but rather, during periods of upheaval, we focus on concepts that are based on the specific strengths of the company and enable it to conduct sustainably profitable business.”

(Georgiy Michailov)
